I have a section of code in which I want to display a messagebox after a form is displayed... as the form loads. me.show messagebox.show If I don't use me.show first, the messagebox appears before the form is displayed. If I do use me.show first, the form appears, but is not always complete before the messagebox appears. Is there an easy way to poll the form to see if it is done displaying without using a timer?
View 14 RepliesI have a parent form, which can lanch a dialog box. A wrong selection in the box launches a message box with an error message. When the message box pops up, the dialog box disappears, so the messagebox is sitting on top of the parent form.Once the user clicks "OK" in the messagebox, the box disappears, and only the parent form remains.How do I make it so that the dialog box remains when the messagebox is displayed? And also, I want the dialog box to remain when the user closes the message box. The user should have the option to make the right selection in the dialogbox once the messagebox disappears.I tried to hunt for a property for the dialog box to achieve this, but couldn't find any.
Here is the code in the parent form to lauch the dialog box, and to also launch the messagebox, when the user has made a selection in the dialogbox:[code]Am I having this problem because all the code to launch the dialog and message boxes reside in the parent form? If I put the code to launch the messagebox in the dialog box, would that make the dialog box persistent when the messagebox is launched? I am putting all the code in the parent form because it can process the DialogResult.
I am a beginner, working on MS Visual studio 2005. I have made a form which accepts details from a user (name , age, etc.).....what I am trying to achieve is the following:
When the user enters all the details and presses OK button, a new form or a messagebox must open, displaying all the details just entered by the user.
I am using a Message box with buttons Yes/No. If the user selects a quantity of Dogs a Messagebox is displayed asking if all the dogs have been vaccinated.

Dim button As DialogResult If button = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then btnCalculate.Focus()
End If

I've created a form with several controls to specify the inputs to my program. They include TextBox, OpenFileDialog, Button and even a user control for numeric input. When the user clicks the 'GO' button, the program begins it work. Opening several files and processing a bunch of numerical data. This could take many minutes/hours with large datasets.
What I've been trying to do is have another window/form open up and send status information to it for the user to view. The info to be displayed is varied and constantly updated as the program crunches the numbers. Many many programs do just this type of activity.
I attempted to create a second form with a huge TextBox thinking I'd just write stuff to it. I called the .show method within the .click of the 'GO' button and of course the form is displayed but control of the program's execution doesn't return until the form is closed. How to I maintain execution and have a second window/form to display status?

i'm trying to display a random messagebox that displays a message associated with a character. the character image displays and the user clicks a button to guess the character if it is correct, one of three messages should randomly appear that is associated with that character (there are 4 characters, so there are 12 possible messages total. 3 for each character) but as it stands now, the picture box on the form displays the character name so the user doesn't have to guess which button to push. i need to remove the name from beneath the picture so only the buttons have the name and the user is forced to guess and i don't have the messages randomly popping up. only a messabebox that says correct i added a message box in the code but i can't figure out how to randomly get the messages associated with the characters to appear?

View 2 RepliesAm writing a VB.Net app written in VS2010. This displays some reports in several forms. (Am using Crystal Reports though this is incidental to the problem). The user needs to be able to check these, then confirm if he wishes to run the update process or abort. My first idea was to ask the user to reply using a messagebox. But of course this is modal, so the user cannot browse through the reports.
I thought of other options but each seems to have problems:
- export the reports as PDFs, then display report in external Adobe Reader Window using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("AcroRd32.exe", filename).
- create a non-modal message box or equivalent. This loses any concept of program flow, so am unconvinced by this.
